<div>Dirk, I was asking because some years ago I also had a similar issue with my DXspider node crashing all the time. Unfortunately I have no clue what the culprit was and how I cured it, it's long time ago. But I remember I tried a lot finding out the reason. However I remember that the crash happened similar to what is described here, it occured on certain spots arriving through the cluster network.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I'm sorried I cannot provide any helpful information. Looking forward to see the result with solution which you hopefully will find :)</div>

A very good question. AFAIK only two nodes crashed, at roughly the same time, using different operating systems and different perls. Both on spots and both in (apparently) the same way - which shouldn't be possible on a properly installed perl installation - as the components are part of the standard perl distribution.<br/>
<br/>
Still looking....<br/>

<div>So why does this happen only to some users but not to everyone? My spider did not crash.</div>

Please send me the answers to:<br/>
<br/>
which perl<br/>
<br/>
and<br/>
<br/>
perl -v<br/>
<br/>
and<br/>
<br/>
perl -e 'print "@INC\n"'<br/>
<br/>
Please check how many versions of Storable.pm you have on the system.<br/>
it's possible you may have more than one version on your system. Use:<br/>
<br/>
locate Storable.pm<br/>
<br/>
(install mlocate and do a sudo updatedb if you don't have locate installled)<br/>
<br/>
You may get several answers but on my Ubuntu 18.04 system it's located<br/>
at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.26.1/Storable.pm and I am using perl<br/>
5.26. and on 16.04 it's perl 1.22.1 and<br/>
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.22.1/Storable.pm. On a recent RPi<br/>
version of Debian it lives in /usr/share/perl/5.28.1/Memoize/Storable.pm.<br/>
<br/>
The versions of a data item and Storable.pm have to match or at least<br/>
have the same or later version of Storable.pm than the version used to<br/>
create the data item. The message suggests that the Storable.pm that<br/>
cluster.pl is using is EARLIER than the version used to create the entry<br/>
in qsl.v1. So using the version of Storable.pm that is in 'vender_perl'<br/>
is very suspicious. In theory, this shouldn't be possible, and on a<br/>
completely standard perl installation that is older than the data it<br/>
isn't. But something is clearly screwed up here. If it's any comfort,<br/>
this did happen to me several years ago and it was a screwed up perl<br/>
installation.<br/>
<br/>
Also check what the system thinks is the version of Berkeley DB it<br/>
thinks your qsl.v1 is, try:<br/>
<br/>
file qsl.v1<br/>
<br/>
I get<br/>
<br/>
qsl.v1: Berkeley DB (Btree, version 9, native byte-order)<br/>
<br/>
On my Ubuntu 18.04 system it's located at<br/>
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.26.1/Storable.pm and I am using perl<br/>
5.26. and on 16.04 it's perl 1.22.1 and<br/>
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.22.1/Storable.pm.<br/>
<br/>
If all else fails let's continue this offline.<br/>
